I want to start a project where I can stream media from my Linux server.

So I just graduated and while I'm looking for a job I want to start a project. I have a home server right now that uses ubuntu where I have music, movies, pictures ... etc. I would like to start off being able to stream my music and move from the server program to a client program. I evetually want to create a web app client. My goal is to eventually get a raspberry pi to have near my tv so I will be able to steam movies and other media to the tv. I also have experience developing in Android so eventually I'm also looking to make an application for my phone that works with this project.

I started doing some research about which protocol I will be using and it looks like the best way is to use RSTP. Looks like Netty should be a good API to use, but I'm still doing my research. I have no idea how to get started though. Any one have any good resources that could be me get the ball rolling?

This is most likely the wrong section to ask this question. I don't know how good you are at programming but I would start with making a simple chat program using Sockets and build off of that.
